Our truck is slightly more aerodynamic, I would guess. Theirs is awful flat in front. It looks a lot like the so-called Freightliner "SuperTruck." Those mirrors and their struts look like an aero nightmare to me. And I don't know why they have steps on the right side skirt, because there is no doors on that side. But overall, I like it.
Some other common features with our truck:
• One door behind the front seat. Theirs is on the driver’s side though.
• Sweeping aerodynamic windshield.
• Carbon fiber cab.
• Cab is 30% larger, just like ours.
• Fridge and Freezer.
• Electric HVAC.
• Digital display panels with carbon fiber dash.
• 4G LTE internet over Wi-Fi.
• Microwave and TV.
Cost - $350,000 to $415,000 each.
Fuel burn – 25 gallons per hour when the turbines are running.
Claimed 10-15 MPG.
I hate their mirrors and struts, but other than that, it looks pretty good to me. But our truck will cost a whole lot less and get better MPG.
